Instead of hitting the ground running after our Thanksgivings, Yoko and I hit the ground... with our faces. Thanks for being patient, guys. How was y'all's Thanksgivings? Good job on saving the life of that poor turkey for Thistle's sake. She's very grateful and loves her new buddy.

From what I understand, you don't need to make a new account - you can start posting right away using your Disqus accounts, which you already use to leave comments on the site. How easy!

Many, many thanks to the many individuals who dedicated their time and efforts to make this forum possible, especially readers Bellis Perennis and Bum. The comment section will be disappearing sometime in January, and you guys now have your own, entirely fan-moderated and run community in which to keep things rolling. Well done! Thank you!
